Photoshop Text Effect - Giordan on Graphics | 5

Step 4-
Adding Color

Now that we have a nice emboss effect pulling the text away from the page,
I wanted to add some color to get the text to read a bit more clearly.

There are many ways to add color to an image in Photoshop. You probably
know by now that Curves are one of my favorites, and in this instance you
could also use Variations, or Color Balance. Having said all that, I have
decided to use the Colorize option that is part of the Hue / Saturation
controls. Colorize applies color in a uniform way, and allows intuitive
color changes to fine tune the exact shade for the image.

To apply the effect, select Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation. Check the
Colorize box in the lower right, and move the hue slider to change colors.
I've chosen a Hue value of 4 to apply this red effect. I've also increased
the Saturation slider to 60 to bump the color intensity. You can also lighten
the selection as well, but be careful with this one, it tends to wash things
out in the shadows. I've left the Lightness slider alone in this case.
